Little-Known Facts About Well-Known Places - Paris, by David Hoffman. Fun trivia about our favorite ville. 
Barefoot In Paris - Easy French Food You Can Make at Home, by Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa). Just flipping through these recipes and the gorgeous pictures will get your drool on.~
I also love William Sonoma's French cookbook. I find it less intimidating than Ina's beautiful book.
ReplyDeleteI have made the lentil soup from Ina's book. Delish!

I am ashamed to admit that as a non-cable-haver, I hadn't seen Ina's show until this Thanksgiving. WHAT a charmer! She almost makes me believe I could cook. Almost.
ReplyDeleteLBR - Oh, I'll have to check out the W-S book too. I've really wanted to start cooking more again and need all the inspiration I can get.
ReplyDeleteLisa P - mmm, lentil soup is one of my favorites!
Sal - I would venture that anyone can cook, but cooking doesn't have to mean making gourmet meals that look like the pictures. Soups are a great way to start.
D.P.--This reminds me, I wanted to ask you if I can read your "Judgment of Paris"!! Will you send it to me as a loaner?
